How to Make Money.

The following statistics gathered
from reliable sources are both inter-
esting and istructive and may be
turned into money, so to speak, by
farmers and poultry raisers. The
number of fowl has greatly increased
in the United States during the last
five years but this increase has been
larger in the New England and Mid
die States than in any other. Twen-
ty-seven States report over one mil
lion each. Seventeen States report
over two million each. Thirteen
States report over three millions each
while the States of Illinois, Iowa,
New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania
report over five millions each. In
eighteen of the States the annual
average product of eggs per hen is as
fnllOwc.

agant habits because of the added In
come of his wife. If they could
agree and hold to the decision that
they should live on the husbands in
come and let the earnings of the wife
accumulate as capital for a business
in which they both could engage, it
would be well, but their earnings
would be largely dissipated in per-
sonal adorment, the passion for

classes, is the bane of the American
people.

Business Habits for Girls.
Mrs. L. W. Belts, in the Epoch.

Mrs. L. W. Belts, in the Epoch.
When a boy enters a business he en-
tiers it with the expectation of devot-
ing himself to the employment that
he has selected forlife, or he means to
make it a stepping-stone to that which
shall be his life-work.
When a girl enters business she does
not do that; she does not concentrate
her mind to her work, but expects
naturally, in due course of time, to
be a wife and to be taken care of and
1, for one, feel very sorry to have
girls educated to any other view of
life. A girl is more valuable in bus
ness after the age of twenty-five.
She is by that time trained to bus
ness habits, is self reliant, and rec
ognizes the value of devotion to bus
mess. Usually, if she remains until
that age she begins to consider self
support as the necessity of life. 1t
has sometimes been asked why could
not the American husband and wife
do what so many couples do in
France, that is, work together in
the same business side by side?
There is a danger in that system,
Where a man has the spirit Of true
manhood and s%elf-respect it is perfect
ly safe for a woman to continue her
wage-earning power after marriage,
at least until she is calledt to the high
er duties ofmotherhood. When once
that comes into her life all her pow
ers-mental, moral spiritual-shouid
be %consecrated to this holy Office.
AS l said, if man is a real man it
is safe for a woman to continue earn
ing wages after she is married; but l
think there are hundreds of men, to-
day, yes, thousands, who have been
ruined because they were not COM
PEELED to support their wives. If a
man who earns small wages marries
a woman capable of earning as much
as himself there are nine chances out

Happiness depends far less upon
the external circumstances that sur
round us than it does upon the con-
dition of our minds. The main
sources thereof are within us, and not
without. Many a man is happier in
his poverty than a king on his throne,
or a millionaire in all his luxury. 1t
is a great mistake to judge of the COM
parative happiness of men by thedif-
ference in their outward condition.

Look on the bright side of life.
Think of its pleasant things. Bear
its unpleasant things patiently. Re-
member that the mercies of life great
ly exceed its ills, and that often these
ills are mercies in disguise. Keep a
good conscienc etoward God and man.
Be willing to be governed by Gods
laws and to be saved by his grace.

solve the problem of happiness for
this world, and they surely will for

To purify a room set a pitcher of
water in the apartment, and in a
few hours it will have absorbed all
the respired gases in the room, the
air which will have become purer,
but the water utterly filthy. The
colder the water is the greater the
capacity to contain these gases. At
the ordinary temperature a pail of
water will absorb a pint Of carbonic
acid gas and several pints of am
monia. The'capacity is nearly doub-
led by reducing the water to the tenn
perture of ice. Hence water kept in
